AD looks at the homes of some of music’s biggest names, past and present

Frank Sinatra

Palm Springs was one of the most enduring passions of singing legend Frank Sinatra’s passionate life. The small one-story, two-bedroom house he purchased at the Tamarisk Country Club in the mid-1950s would grow—over the next four decades—into a compound with 18 bedrooms, 23 baths, a projection room, full-service salon, tennis court, and much more. This place was his true home—where he came to rest, read, paint, listen to music, watch movies, play with his model trains, and entertain friends and family.
